Sometimes I think the US could do with a communist revolution. Then I realize the semi-luxurious half acre plot my parents live in will have to be shared with a couple of other probably very poor families. I don't know, just a random thought when I read it, and how lucky it is to be in the top 10% wealthy in the US.

Really? It's pretty opaque what the topic might be to begin with.
Yes. I dislike the title, and wish it was edited to give a better idea, but the story is good.
I appreciated not knowing too much about it, and discovering along the way.
If your journeys are all signposted, you will only end up where you expected.

At least this story was written deliberately in a style that brought you in, even if you didn't know where you were going, and you were happy to come along for the ride. OTOH there are quite a few articles in HN like "Update 2.1 on WhizBangBlahBlah" and I have to read half the article before I know what a WhizBangBlahBlah is and why I might want one. :/

I guess it's to be expected, but there definitely needs to be a part 2...

#18I clicked through to the story planning on downvoting it for being offtopic. I was wrong. What a touching story. The world needs more people like Mr Wu.
Seems important considering the points. But neither do I know who Mr. Wu is nor do I care to read 10 paragraphs into the text to find out.
Can you give a quick summary?

It did end rather abruptly. Beautiful, but not a great story. Sort of like how I feel about Westworld.
